Since opening in 1870, the park has become packed to the brim with things to do. Play a game of bowls on the green, head out for a round of golf, take your mountain bike for a ride or keep the kids busy in one of the playgrounds. The choice is yours!

Whether you’re approaching from the north, south, east or west, you’ll find a map of the park near your entrance. As well as pointing out the different areas of the park, the map highlights all the facilities, including the office, café and public toilets.

Although there are areas of uneven surface, you’ll find paved routes throughout the park which are suitable for those with limited mobility.
